Added to the mix are now new NBA TN analyst Isiah Thomas. Also high flyers Dr. J and Nique Wilkins (are they joining NBA TV?) And former Magic teammates Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady (is Mac now on NBA TV, I know Hill is?)

Too bad, I like C-Webb. Reggie was alright as well. I thought his insight in the past episodes was surprisingly good.

3D was terrible in the 90s episode. Grant Hill barely spoke so I will reserve judgement there. I do like the Erving and McGrady additions without seeing what they can do. McGrady was good in the studio and Dr. J is Dr. J...

Get rid of Dennis Scott and bring back Webber. That would be a great cast.

I enjoyed Zeke's perspective on the first installment.

good theyre getting rid of Shaq. He has outlived his usefulness on the show (and amongst many other shows). Never have i seen so much annoyance from someone clowning around on a show that was intended to get viewers based on clowning around on a show.

Why change it when it doesn't need to be changed? Isiah Thomas? Really? Did you see his first appearance where he said the weak link of the 90's Utah teams was Karl Malone's free throw shooting. That's some really interesting, insightful stuff... And Dr. J... ugh. We've done this before and it wasn't his thing then.

Isiah Thomas looks like a very charismatic person.

Actually Isiah gave great insight on various topics.

Isiah was actually pretty good outside of his "Karl Malone weak link" embarrassment. It was simply stunning that he couldn't articulate his point there, even after Ernie gave him a second chance to do so.

Anyway, besides that, I liked how candid Isiah was and particularly liked how he defended his Piston teams, who were incorrectly being referred to as "thugs" by the rest of the panel.
